Title Sequence Essay

I have started the essay and plan to continue more with it once I have more firm ideas for what I am going to do for my Robin Hood title sequence which will hopefully be tuesday. I have looked at a range of different films particularly my favourite ones which I will intend to write about, I have written about one so far, so maybe I ll think of handing in a draft soon to see if I am going about the right lines.

Robin Hood Title Sequence

Well over the last few days I have been trying to get all my ideas together to show Deborah on Tuesday so that fingers crossed I know which idea to go with which will help me enable the rest of the essay and to start creating my title sequence for robin hood.

I will not be posting my ideas on here but I will be posting my inspirations and things I have looked at that have given me many ideas:

I have been looking at a lot of different Robin Hood films ranging from:

• The adventure of Robin Hood
• Men in Tights
• Prince of Thieves
• Robin Hood 2010
• Cartoons of Robin Hood

I have been looking at how Robin Hood has changed over all the different films and episodes, what makes Robin Hood, what he is about and why he is a legend.

I have about 4 ideas to talk to Deborah and hope that the best one she thinks is a winner!

In the Adventure of Robin Hood I feel this is very much a love story, you can hear a very confident radio like voice to over emphasis everything, they use really bright colours on there actors/actresses, all the titles cover the whole screen. As you can see Robin is still with his hat and arrow. As this film was made in the 1938 there would only be simple titles and black backgrounds.

In Men in Tights, I find this more of a comedy, there are some cheesy songs and black men making a lot of jokes, it seems here the colours of their costumes have become a lot darker but is still wearing the famous hat.

In the Prince Of Thieves, I find this more of a love story, it has very traditional music, simple lettering, but the title sequence has not imagination all they have done is use the bayeux tapestry as their introduction a very traditional safe idea. The colours again seem much more realistic here and the hat as disappeared but he still shows his arrows off.

In Robin Hood 2010, I feel this film is more of a battle, there is the traditional handwriting, the effect of a light from a candle, the moon and black sky and you can hear the wind and breeze, then it goes into an action sequence, people running in a forest, horses and chasing and the word Nottingham appears, you can clearly seeing people are stealing and you know its Robin Hood because he is an archer. The colours seem darker again more believable and still the hat is missing but the arrows are right there.

But whether Robin Hood is portrayed in all these different ways you know it is him because of what he believes in being fair and the law and people not being ripped off. Most films now start with a intriguing introduction but anything before the 1940's was very basic.

I decided I could go 3 ways with the title sequence

• Traditional title sequence 1950's
• Historical context
• Action today's standards

I feel the best one for me would be traditional with a twist! we shall see!

Apparently there is a new Robin Hood is progress with a modern take staring Will Smith in the making. Which will be interesting!

Also Nicolai Fuglsig is directing a futuristic action adventure re-imagining Robin Hood!

Portfolio

With the portfolio I am gradually building up bits to put it in for example e-on if we win, alley cafe, my pixilation piece I did over christmas with my brother, Rundance and some of my university work. Problem is I have completely forgotten how to make the beginning part of a portfolio which i mean the buttons as I have not used flash since last may! So may need to ask someone for a tab bit of help!
